Biden Aides Go Nuclear on Latrine John-Pissoir, Calling Her the Most Incompetent WH Spokesman In History

Putting aside the recent unpleasantness...

As some have noted: When you pointed out that Latrine John-Pissoir was an incompetent incapable of answering basic questions without reading a largely-unrelated entry from her giant cheat-sheet briefing book, you were a racist homophobe who hates women and immigrants.

But when Latrine John-Pissoir pisses off Biden staffers, and they say she's an incompetent incapable of answering basic questions without reading a largely-unrelated entry from her giant cheat-sheet briefing book, they are heroic truth-tellers correcting the record.

Axios reports what everyone else saw with their own eyes five years ago... again.


Former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced Tuesday that she's written a book about a "broken" Biden White House and what she sees as the betrayal of the former president by the Democratic Party.

Many of her former colleagues think Jean-Pierre -- the face of the White House for more than two years -- was part of the problem, according to interviews with more than two dozen former Biden administration officials.

Driving the news: Jean-Pierre's announcement Wednesday led former Biden aides to tee off on her. Many quietly had fumed for years, believing she was incompetent at her job at the White House podium and more interested in promoting herself than Joe Biden.


...

What they're saying: One former White House official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Axios that she "was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I've ever worked with. ... She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers."

"She didn't know how to manage a team, didn't know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved," the official said.

A former Biden communications official threw more wood on the fire: "The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power -- which ... bestows the name recognition needed to sell books off your name -- but have actively wielded it from the biggest pulpit there is, is as breathtaking as it is desperate ... It's difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab."

Another former White House official familiar with the dynamics told Axios: "The amount of time that was spent coddling [Jean-Pierre] and appeasing her was astronomical compared to our attention on actual matters of substance."

A former senior spokesperson in Biden's administration added: "It's hard to believe someone could look at the past year and genuinely think, 'The party left Joe Biden -- that's why I'm leaving the Democratic Party.' '"

...

The intrigue: Despite longstanding internal frustration with Jean-Pierre's performance since she took over as press secretary in mid-2022, Biden aides largely had stayed silent because she was seen as untouchable, given her close relationship with Jill Biden's top aide Anthony Bernal.

Um, Axios... is that the only reason she was "untouchable"?

When people criticized her, they weren't attacked as "people who disagreed with Jill Biden's top aide Anthony Bernal."

They were attacked as racist homophobes who hate women and immigrants.

Trust the news media, people. They tell nothing but the full truth.

...

Zoom in: Some former Biden aides said Jean-Pierre's tenure was complicated by her work with a New York-based publicist, Gilda Squire.

Jean-Pierre was the focus of several magazine profiles and appeared on "The View" in New York. At one point, she wanted to appear on the show once a week.

There was another story about her trying to get hired by The View. They never even bothered to call her back, those racists!



Within the White House, there were concerns about Squire being looped in on internal emails regarding Jean-Pierre's profiles and promotional appearances.

Concerns about Jean-Pierre's self-promotion were even raised with the White House counsel's office because some staffers felt torn between their administration duties and helping Jean-Pierre promote herself, according to a former White House aide familiar with the internal dynamics.

Contacted by Axios in February 2024, Squire asked to go off the record and denied she was working with Jean-Pierre to navigate and boost the press secretary's public profile. As a result, Axios didn't report Squire's involvement at the time.

Internal White House emails obtained later by Axios, however, show that Squire was copied on emails related to Jean-Pierre's publicity work. The messages included a September 2023 email describing plans for a Vogue magazine profile.

Alex Thompson is now posting the PR flack's false denial, saying that people who lie don't get the protections of an "off the record" agreement.

Um... will you be revealing the emails of Biden staffers who lied about Biden's mental fitness, or are you just taking cheap shots against an easy target?


Becket Adams
@BecketAdams

So ... when we all went "Wow KJP is terrible at her job" and the White House was all "how dare you speak in such a manner about our black queer queen" .... the White House was lying about what we all could clearly see with our own two eyes?

Has this happened before??

A very odd part of the Biden legacy: Elevating black women as the first to be VP and WH press secretary, then making it known to everybody that they were disasters.

I saw a Democrat remark that there are few opportunities for Biden staffers to get work now, and that this is Latrine John-Pissoir's attempt at a quick grift.

If you pick someone for a high profile role like WH Press Secretary and your primary consideration is skin color and sex...why would anyone assume you'd get competence?

VP actually doesn't have any particular work associated with it, so while Kamala refused to do any work as VP it didn't matter. But she did become an obvious miserable failure as a candidate...which everyone knew from her last run for president anyway.

Posted by: polynikes at June 05, 2025 04:10 PM (VofaG)

I followed that pretty closely at the time. I honestly think Musk didn’t want to buy Twitter. He got upset because of the Babylon Bee thing and went on an Ambien-fueled rant about buying it.

Twitter execs said they wouldn’t sell, which is illegal and injured Musk’s ego, so he made an offer he expected to be rejected or be able to wriggle out of.

The problem was, it was a bad deal for Musk and Twitter’s board accepted it. So now he was obligated to buy it. He tried getting out of it, even sued, but eventually he was forced to buy it which lost him a lot of money because he way overpaid.

45 I don't like turncoats like her and Tapper. The party was faithful to her and she kicks it down the road. I detest people like this.

Simone Sanders and Jean-Pierre are examples of the feelings of betrayal that a lot of politically active black women are dealing with. The party continues to embrace the "bro" culture, or chase voters who stopped voting for Democrats three cycles ago, while continuing to ignore its most reliable supporters.

Until either of these women sit down for brunch with Putin, I'm going to resist lumping them in with Jill Stein or trying to delegitimize a decision that they have every right to make.

Hope it was worth it. Sure seems like it was all about the money.

As press secretary, she was weak sauce compared to Psaki, but a sight better than what we got during the first trump admin. gad, they were dreadful.

I'll reserve judgement until I know a little more. I liked her. She showed much grace under pressure.

Well she stood there with that Raggedy Ann hair and dots for eyes and never looked ashamed or self aware, but she was never convincing or plausible in anything she said. An awful lot of people are damned good at lying in your face without showing the slightest degree of shame but that doesn't make them good at it.

It's a joke. If that's all we can cut, then fuck it, let's just spend more. Trump and the GOP need to add tax credits for buying a diesel F-350.

"I'm decommissioning Dragon" Really dude? Because of a Twitter spat? Or because you were planning on doing that anyway? "There's not enough cuts in this bill!" You could not have possibly not known that. You could not have possibly not been on the same page as to how shit would go down.

Biden & the Politburo knew they had intentionally opened to border and were helping them all in, but they also knew that a majority of the American people were against this.

So they constantly lied about it, don't forget stone-faced Mayorkas, and pretended nothing was happening and repeated "the border is secure" over and over again.

It was a policy decision.
And KJP went right along with the lies just like every Democrat and every media operative lied.

Well, allegedly the job is to basically save the president the time from talking to the press. So they are supposed to be the administration's voice answering questions and clearing things up.

But in the modern era, probably for many decades now, it is one of two things:

When its a Democrat president, its spinning everything into a positive and lying about events to protect the president.

When a Republican is president, its about fighting an incredibly hostile press, antagonistic and combative, trying to depose the president.

When I needed a hand
Then it couldn't be found
I was so far down that I couldn't get up
You know and one day I was one of life's losers
Even my friends were my accusers
And in my head, I lost before I begun
I had a dream but it turned to dust
And what I thought was love
That must've been lust
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
When I played my hand
I looked like a joker
Turn around, fate must have woke her
'Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door...

This is my little fantasy scenario. Musk gets cut loose in a very visible, acrimonious manner, then goes on a bloody rampage against the GOPe, and is welcomed back into the fold after the midterms once all the Murkowskis and Cornyns and the countless nameless other goons are taken off the board.

Wishful thinking, mostly.

It does smell a little too scripted. And nothing they're flinging is very significant if you scratch the surface. "Trump's on the Epstein List". We feckin' well know all about that. "I'm decommissioning Dragon" Really dude? Because of a Twitter spat? Or because you were planning on doing that anyway? "There's not enough cuts in this bill!" You could not have possibly not known that. You could not have possibly not been on the same page as to how shit would go down.

I really suspect shenanigans are afoot.

Or, you know, they're both exactly the kind of assholes we all already know they are.

Autism spectrum is not an excuse...it may be harder for him, but he knows how to do it. He's choosing not to, and I suspect the drugs are doing the talking...that, and the betrayal...

But Trump is president, so it's actually worse by him. He should have responded originally with "I'm sorry Elon feels this way. I hope to convince him the bill is a good thing in the future." And left it at that...but Trump has always destroyed "friends" he doesn't find 100% committed to him. Some of them get past that and rejoin him...and some of them don't. Another huge and known character flaw...

179 Elon Musk claimed Thursday afternoon that President Donald Trump is 'in the Epstein files' - a dramatic escalation amid their spectacular falling out.

Musk also suggested that Trump should be impeached - and replaced with 40-year-old Vice President J.D. Vance.

Moments before the Epstein charge, Trump had taken to Truth Social and said he had asked Musk to leave his administration and said the billionaire went 'CRAZY!'

With that, Musk announced that it was 'time to drop a really big bomb.'

'@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,' Musk wrote. 'Have a nice day, DJT!'

Pretty much. These Oval Office meetings with the likes of Merz, Starmer, and the guy from Canada are a lot of fun to watch. There they are, sitting next to Trump and before they get a chance to make a statement, the President makes an announcement like "Today, the US launched a major counter-strike against the Houthis involving carrier aircraft, ship launched cruise missiles, and US Air Force bombers" or "Today, I've announced a uniform 10% increase in the tariff rates across the board. Everyone will have to pay." And those guys just stare at him, realizing that whatever power they might have at home, they're peanuts compared to the man controlling the most powerful country in the world. They just stare, immobile. mouths slightly open.

Musk didn't just say he was opposed to the bill. He actively tried to destroy support for it, both with the public and with those voting on it ( I don't think he changed any minds at this point) .

This is a bill Trump has been working hard for weeks on getting it to pass. It had to feel like a huge betrayal.

235 Musk is now tweeting out that Trump's tariffs are going to cause a recession in the 2nd half of the year.

That has zero to do with the BBB or the rescission bills.

I wouldn't go that far. Elon already made his displeasure with the tariffs known.

I think it's probably a lot of things that pushed Elon over the edge, including the BBB and rescission bills, but also the end of Tesla subsidies.

It doesn't matter. Trump is the president. Elon is a mentally ill junkie who is also one of the most competent, smart people in the country who effectively is also a kid in maturity and Donald looked at as his kid. Parents learn their kids act out, and they don't follow that acting out. They keep their cool. Donald did not keep his cool in a spot where you ALWAYS have to keep your cool - president of the US.

He's had a lot of substance use issues. He used to go on bizarre, Ambien-fueled rants on Twitter at 4am after he'd been up for 48 hours straight. It was entertaining and crazy and he'd delete it all the next day.

He'd also retaliate hard against former employees. Sleazy behavior. Without giving too much info about myself away, I knew several engineering experts who were hired to work at SpaceX who quit after Musk would throw temper tantrums after they told him things he wanted were just not doable with present technology.

He's prone to these kind of meltdowns.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at June 05, 2025 05:12 PM (vWeTL)

It wasn't really a difficult problem that needed a novel solution. They just ended up using what was obviously correct, which is what the first engineers suggested.

The idea that everything needs a novel solution when there are well-proven ones is not good engineering and nobody seriously does that.

And no self-respecting person is going to work for a boss who throws temper tantrums. It's not worth it. My understanding is Musk doesn't do that as much with his employees now, but know knows.

402 Alex Thompson is now posting the PR flack's false denial, saying that people who lie don't get the protections of an "off the record" agreement.

Heard some R CongressCritter on a national talk radio show today claim that Thompson and Tapper will have to give up the names of those anonymous sources when there's a criminal conspiracy investigation involved -- per some 1972 Supreme Court case.

439 It is they who should have been staked over ant mounds in some desert.

Jen Psaki served as White House Press Secretary from January 20, 2021, to May 13, 2022. (She knew what was going on.) Karine Jean-Pierre took over the role from Psaki on May 13, 2022 and served as Press Secretary until the end of Biden's term in January 2025.

Biden, the 1st 'real' Black president. With Ashley Biden, the Social Worker and Delaware activist. Jill, community college educator and co-ruler. Yada, yada. (Just a sorry mess of individuals.)

Biden was flailing from the very beginning of his inept administration & Psaki couldn't possibly deflect enough from him, his entire grifting family, his immediate 'aides' that included many WH staff, cabinet members & Biden loyalists. The arrogance, failure of leadership, toxic behaviours, lack of self-awareness, and so on.

Jean-Pierre could be used for her race, ethnicity, sex, gender. Who could really challenge the Biden way - his little notes and prompts, endless booboos - with Jean-Pierre as a barrier?

She allowed it to happen; she picked her own poison. But still...

And the WH and MSM watched her dangle in the wind.
